Question
Describe any five steps taken by the French for the development of the ‘Mekong Delta Region’.
Solution
Following are five important steps taken by the French in order to develop the Mekong Delta Region:
i. The French colonial government began to build large canals in the Mekong Delta Region.
ii. Drainage of land was undertaken in order to make more land available for cultivation.
iii. The French augmented rice production in the region by building an extensive irrigation system (canals and earthworks) through forced labour. Three fourths of the increased production was exported and thus, by 1931, Vietnam became the third largest exporter of rice in the world.
iv. Work was started on the Trans Indo-China rail link which would connect the northern and southern parts of Vietnam and China.
v. A second line was built between Vietnam and Siam (Thailand) through Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia
